Good Morning it's been a great week of heat then cooler, really cooler then heat and maybe rain this morning kind of a week. The cereals are moving ahead real nice and I would say almost caught up to normal time. The dog in the hunt is canola with lots just finishing flowering or just starting on the odd field.
Ottawa has a new gun ban that the criminals are laughing at, now possession is a slap on the wrist but for law-abiding gun owners, it's taking all our guns away. Liberalism is a mental condition.
Ok, here we go with the Crop Report.
Wheat is starting to turn fast on early seeded fields. The last seeded are filling and changing colors.
Fun yield calculation
1. Count the number of heads in an SQ Meter ex 728
2. count number of kernels in the average number of heads ex 36
3. Now use the calculation factor for weight etc and divide by 327
80.15 now you need to do in about 6 spots per quarter.
another example
520x28 div 327 = 44.53 BPA
Fuz is showing up on fields not sprayed. No Aphids yet or other bugs, I would say in two weeks fields will be getting shut down then 14 days till harvest so combines will be rolling on wheat in 28 days or Sept 7th. Wheat yields will be large in our area.
Durum is starting to show big signs it doesn't like water. I remember spraying twice and am still pissed that it didn't make the grade. Time will tell but if the humidity and rain continue yes it will have issues. Yield will be down.
Barley. Wow wow and double wow. Late seeded look like they are under pivot and really thick, they need time but it's barley so can make. Early are turning and have big heads but thinner. Harvest will begin in three weeks for malt. Yield potential is big for our area.
Peas are showing signs that guys should follow the 8-year rule and maybe not push rotation. All chemicals to control the problem don't work. Boboo can shove it up her ass with the thought that seeding 1/3 pulse will save the world. We can't control one disease that's been around for years. The yield on some fields will be great and on others, WTF happened? Few fields seeded early will get shut down before the weekend. harvest in 10 days.
Lentils are getting sprayed for shutdown on a few early-seeded fields. Lots of dead or drowned-out places. Yield will be better than last year but lots of areas look to produce not much.
Flax is done flowering and looks really good in just about all fields.
Oats are king this year and I don't even want to guess some yields, even the really late ones look good.
Canary seed is trying to stand back up after all the rain and only thin fields have done that. Thick are thick and well just thick.
Canola is just about done flowering in our area, odd late ones are still flowering in a few fields but there still is the odd field that's full of flowers or just thinking of shutting down. Those late ones need a month after flower to make it. So yes yield could be big but one cold night and it's game over. Not doing yield yet till Sept 1 time frame with no frost.
The Cowboys are picking bales and doing a second cut. lots and lots of bales this year. Pastures still look good.
So in a nutshell it could be a bin buster for our area, but I'm still not going there as we are later than most areas, and one frost we are ****ed.
I did do some driving this week as I am on a mission to get a few more old tractors for our collection. So far I bought a real nice styled D with starter and Pto and a Diesel 3020, I lost the diesel gas but am still the top bidder on a Diesel 4020. Missing a 5020 and 6030.
Observation is some areas like Tisdale are nice but not the best I have ever seen in that area. Late seeded into mud did a fast flower and end. That's not a yield bin buster.
It will be an Average crop at this rate for Sask. So Sask Ag and all the others its better than last year but not a record breaker as the heat that's helping to push a late crop is also taking yield.
Have a great day enjoy this time of year because winter sucks. Stay safe.
